Hey there,
After waiting a year (hard to find a range in N. Il) I finally got to try out the HR Handi in 45-70. I was pushing some Moyers Cast through it using 65 gr Pyrodex 2F eq.
20 shots offhand between 2 of us landed a 5" group at 50 yards. We were pretty happy. I used 350, 405, and a paper patched 250 Gr .45 ACP boolet, all were about the same. I was using Top cigarette paper for the patches, and had to take care loading those. Everything was loaded using a LEE Loader.
All said I went through about 65 rounds out of the Handi that day, with some Mosin and .22 tossed in.
Cheers!
